If You Could Hear My Heart-Chapter 1657: That Person Is Still in the Dim Light (8)

Chapter 1657: Chapter 1657: That Person Is Still in the Dim Light (8)

Student Zhao happened to drive out his Cayenne, and he even had a dedicated driver.

The car stopped in front of Xia Chuqing, and Xia Chuqing quickly stepped back two paces.

"Chuqing, get in."

At this moment, there was no one else around, so Student Zhao wanted to see if Xia Chuqing was playing hard to get. After all, with his conditions, it’s impossible for Xia Chuqing not to be tempted.

Moreover, Xia Chuqing didn’t seem like she had a boyfriend.

"My boyfriend will come to pick me up." Xia Chuqing smiled. 𝐟𝐫𝕖𝗲𝘄𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝕧𝐞𝚕.𝕔𝕠𝐦

"Why don’t you call him? I can give you a ride home; it’s the same thing."

"No, he would get upset."

"Chuqing, there’s no one else here, just get in. I’m sincere with you. Besides, do you think anyone would dare to marry you after your father’s incident?"

"Student Zhao, someone who truly cares for me wouldn’t say such things." Xia Chuqing’s face hardened.

For instance, Xiao Mo, he never says things like that. He only encourages her, urging her to move forward bravely.

"Then in what way is your boyfriend better than me? Tell me, I don’t buy it."

"Do I really need to say?" Xia Chuqing looked at him.

Just then, a silver Bentley sports car blocked the Cayenne’s path.

The car window rolled down, and it was Xiao Mo in the driver’s seat.

Xia Chuqing waved at him and smiled.

Xiao Mo turned his head, "Get in the car."

"Okay!" Xia Chuqing cheerfully jumped into the car, ignoring Student Zhao completely.

Xiao Mo, acting as if he didn’t see Student Zhao, started the car and drove away as soon as Xia Chuqing got in.

Student Zhao was stunned. Could Xiao Mo really be Xia Chuqing’s boyfriend? But wasn’t it said that Xiao Mo was married?!

Student Zhao snorted and said to the driver, "Drive, drive. Women are all vain creatures; they don’t even mind being the third wheel."

Once in the car, Xia Chuqing leaned her head and looked at Xiao Mo.

In the night, a certain person’s face appeared particularly profound, with deep-set features.

Xia Chuqing gazed and eventually laughed, "My roommate said I’m not good enough for you, she was quite surprised."

"That’s because she’s shortsighted." Xiao Mo curled his lips.

In his eyes, Xia Chuqing was like a piece of uncut jade, destined to shine brightly once polished.

"I told her you were just blind." Xia Chuqing said, laughing first.

Xiao Mo shook his head indulgently and glanced at her.

"By the way, you haven’t told me why you’re spying on me. I have a good relationship with my classmates." Xia Chuqing snorted.

"It’s not spying; it’s just that I miss you if I don’t see you for a minute."

"As if, with you sitting next to me, no one dares to talk to me."

"That’s the best." There was a touch of possessiveness in his tone.

Xia Chuqing laughed. Well, she didn’t mind at all.

At least, she wasn’t getting drunk, wasn’t being mocked, and had no fears.

"When did you buy this car? I haven’t seen it before." Xia Chuqing looked around, it was brand new; the capitalists sure are wealthy.

"The sports car broke last time, so someone gifted me this one."

"Oh...Mr. Shen is really generous."

"If he hadn’t compensated me, I would have taught his son to read ’special’ comics."

Xia Chuqing burst out laughing, "Wouldn’t that be biting the hand that feeds you?"

"..."

Xiao Mo curled his lips slightly, though he was just joking, after all, he was Xiaobao’s godfather.

However, even if he didn’t teach him, he didn’t believe Xiaobao’s biological mother wouldn’t.

"Chuqing, from now on, don’t take off your ring when you attend class reunions." Xiao Mo’s tone carried a hint of warning.

"Oh, I know, I just don’t want people asking about it since we’re not public yet."

"Have you ever seen me take it off?" Xiao Mo raised his eyebrows.

Xia Chuqing glanced at his finger. Alright, she admitted that ever since they bought the wedding rings at the jewelry store, he never took it off, no matter the occasion.

But she didn’t have his calm demeanor and articulate nature, fearing she might get flustered.

"Can I praise you for that?" Xia Chuqing winked.

"Be sincere."

"Alright then." Xia Chuqing leaned over and gave him a kiss.

In the night, the car drove smoothly forward, the inside dimly lit, but their hearts were warm.

As they drove, Xia Chuqing fell asleep, her head resting against the window, letting the countless scenes outside pass her by...

Under the sparse stars and bright moon, with the crickets softly chirping, it was serene and tranquil.

The matter at the reunion was just a small episode; Xia Chuqing continued with work after returning from the gathering.

She was no longer afraid of the bad things that had happened because Xiao Mo was always by her side.

The best kind of love likely involves mutual support and advancing together.

...

In mid-June, Xia Chuqing flew to Paris to attend her graduation ceremony.

The sun was shining, flowers blooming everywhere.

Xia Chuqing bid farewell to her classmates and teachers one by one, full of reluctance.

She was elected as the representative of international students and would give a speech at the graduation ceremony in the auditorium.

Upon entering the auditorium, Xia Chuqing found her seat. The ceremony hadn’t started yet, but she received a call from Xiao Mo.

It was quiet on the other end, and Xia Chuqing lowered her voice, "Is there something you need?"

"The ceremony’s about to start, right?"

"Yes, how did you know?"

"What don’t I know?"

"You didn’t come along again, did you?" Xia Chuqing’s eyes widened, recalling the incident at the gathering.

"Take a guess."

Xia Chuqing looked around, but there was no sign of Xiao Mo. It was unlikely, she thought, why would he attend her graduation ceremony.

Just then, the hall’s music started playing, and Xia Chuqing hurriedly said, "The ceremony’s starting, I have to hang up now."

"Alright." Xiao Mo didn’t say much else.

There were various speeches and rituals, but the ceremony was lively, not rigid, enough not to put one to sleep.

Very soon, Xia Chuqing went up to give her speech. Her English was fluent and smooth, earning her a round of applause.

Under the dazzling lights in the auditorium, her smile was confident and beautiful.

She thought, if it wasn’t for Xiao Mo, perhaps she would still be mired in despair and inferiority, unable to extricate herself. It was his hidden support over the years that made her who she is now.

Back when she first learned about her father’s situation, in her rashness, she almost made an irreparable mistake, but fortunately, he was always there.

While speaking on stage, she seemed to sense two scorching gazes, filled with encouragement, trust, and affection.

As she spoke, she searched for the source of the gaze but found nothing.

Perhaps, it was just her imagination.

"May we all have a wonderful future, with someone we love." In the end, Xia Chuqing said in both English and Chinese.

With a faint smile, she bowed deeply to the audience.

Applause erupted, lights flashing.

Amidst the applause, Xia Chuqing returned to her seat.

She cherished these beautiful moments, for during such times, she could see her former confident self.

She liked this version of herself, and she hoped she could always remain this confident in the future.
